A Brief Bit of Spring

I love daffodils! They seem like the happiest flower to me. What's your favorite?

Backyard Farming: Actual Veggies

Hello friends! I hope this heat wave is being kind to you. Right now I am seriously regretting our lack of AC.

The silver lining to all this heat is that its doing wonders for my veggie garden. I hope you're not sick of seeing pictures because I get more excited about this project by the day. I've finally moved beyond just having "a bunch of plants" to actually having produce!

Backyard Farming: Signs of Progress!

Hello dear friends, I am popping in for a short post today to share some garden photos from this weekend. My whole life I'd been a killer of plants and owner of the blackest thumb, so I can't even explain how exciting it is to have my first veggie garden this year. The best part? It seems to be surviving. I'm finally getting to the flowering stage, so hopefully I'll start seeing actual veggies soon.

Are you growing any veggies this year? Do you have any words of wisdom to share with a very inexperienced gardener? :o)

A Day Outdoors

Just some snippets of a day out in the yard. I can't wait until I can actually eat from my veggie garden!








We made a friend.
